Ryan Coogler & Michael B. Jordan Discuss Sinners Backstory
As “Sinners” continues to bask in its recently earned Oscar nominations, director Ryan Coogler and leading man Michael B. Jordan are sharing all-new details about the fictitious Smokestack Twins, their lore, and what thay got into before the events of the movie take place.
If you haven’t seen the movie yet (fix that quickly, please), it follows the infamous identical twins, Elijah “Smoke” Moore and Elias “Stack” Moore, as they return to their hometown of Clarksdale, Mississippi, in 1932 to start a new chapter. Their goal? To create something for Black people, by Black people, in the name of ownership and authority. This leads to the birth of “Club Juke.” However, an evil presence looms, threatening their grand opening and turning what should have been a momentous occasion into a fight for survival.
